You can have the dual zone cymbal as a crash.  Somewhere in the manual
I am sure it tells you to use stereo cables for the connections.  On
my DTXpress it isn't a problem because it comes with the stereo cables
all tied onto the rack.  I don't know how the DTXpress II was
supplied, but I guess if you bought it second hand anything could happen.

I'm glad you now have it sorted - I hope you didn't buy a 3 zone pad
to find out you already had one!
